Fluid Removal TRIZ Cases

A swellable material valve expands upon fluid contact to block flow through shunt tubes in gravel pack operations.

External flow ports equalize pressure across the tubular sealing device to reduce wireline pickup weight below cable working load limits.

Low viscosity fluid with a tackifier binds proppant to fracture walls, preventing settling and maintaining conductivity without complex gel carriers.

Rotating tubular members align radial protrusions to sandwich a filter layer, eliminating secondary swaging steps that induce material stress.

Segmented proppant clusters and fluid channels reduce injection friction pressure while maintaining fracture openness.

Spring-biased contact pins on conductive charge holders automatically ground the system during assembly, eliminating manual wiring hazards.

Segmented housing allows independent valve actuation regardless of rod position, resolving failsafe reliability issues in subsea well operations.

An eddy current retarder provides braking torque to stabilize gas turbine rotating speed.

Metal cation-based nano-crosslinkers stabilize acrylamide polymers at 450°F, preventing breakdown and maintaining permeability reduction.

Nanoparticle-coated proppants resist chemical degradation and maintain hydraulic conductivity in downhole environments.

Specific polyamine compounds stabilize carbon dioxide emulsions, preventing viscous fingering and gravity override in high-temperature reservoirs.

Automated imaging system captures water droplet contact angles on leveled proppant surfaces for precise wettability assessment.

Automated robotic alignment and locking mechanisms allow continuous fluid flow during high-pressure manifold connections, eliminating shutdown risks.

Amphiphilic surfactant microemulsions lower interfacial tension and viscosity, displacing trapped heavy oil from rock pores.

Injecting gas hydrate-forming substances into deep-sea sediments creates composites that prevent sand production and water intrusion during extraction.

Exothermic reaction of encapsulated reactants creates synthetic sweet spots, reducing hydraulic fracturing stages and environmental impact.
